La Belle Helene

Jennifer Larmore, Jun-Sang Han, Philharmoniker Hamburg. Director Renaud Doucet and designer André Barbe adopt a proactive stance with this rendition of Offenbach’s opéra bouffe on narrow-mindedness in society. They relocate the action to a cruise ship in the 1960s, when flower power, love, and drugs were all the rage. 2015/color/117 min/NR/widescreen.
